Mother of murdered Lahad Datu student prays for justice for Zara Qairina
LAHAD DATU: The mother of a student from Lahad Datu Vocational College who was murdered last year has expressed her support and called for justice to be served in the death of Zara Qairina Mahathir. Speaking during a vigil held in Lahad Datu last night, Siti Hamidah Jumari, 46, said she understands the pain Zara Qairina's mother is experiencing, having gone through a similar tragedy herself. She said she sent her son, Mohamad Nazmie Aizzat Mohd Narul Azwan, 17, to school with high hopes that he would one day support the family. "Raising a child is never easy. Since they were little, we wouldn't even let a mosquito land on them, and yet this is what happened to our child. In the blink of an eye, they're gone. "What Zara Qairina's mother feels, I feel it too. "We send our children to school for the sake of their future, but in the end, we're left with their lifeless bodies." Hamidah said she was grateful that the perpetrators in her son's case had already been charged, thanks to the efforts of the police, who provided her with significant support. She said this differs from Zara Qairina's case, a Form One student at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) Tun Datu Mustapha Limauan in Papar, as the truth behind what happened to her remains unknown. "Let us all pray, especially us mothers. Insya-Allah, we pray for justice for Zara Qairina," she said. Thirteen students, aged between 16 and 19, were jointly charged with the murder of Nazmie Aizzat at Dormitory Room 7 Resak and 5 Belian of the Lahad Datu Vocational College, between 9pm on March 21 and 7.38am on March 22 last year. They were charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34, which provides for the death penalty or imprisonment of 30 to 40 years and up to 12 strokes of the cane upon conviction.
